I was bartending during the Giants/Cowboys game, saw this ad and for a minute wasn't sure if I had seen a new KF or not. But if so, it looked crazy thin. Christmas 2012 looks to have a salvo of great devices going around this year

And your post summarizes what annoys me about people who still throw around "apple fanboy"; you're in an endless witch hunt to find some kind of subtext in what people say just to call them out for their choice of computer. There was nothin

The assertion that holding my politicians to a higher standard than playing word games is naive? That kind of apathetic thinking is exactly what allows the kind of things that stem from Washington to continue, people think it's naive and f

So your complaint is the POTUS should've come to the AMA with more time to spend, hunted down "better" questions to answer, and then spent more time thoroughly answering the questions. You clearly are not reading the subtext of what (s)he

Agreed, I would absolutely love to read this and share it with my mother. She's a huge nerd for expeditionary travel and research.

Next time check out apartmenttherapy.com and curbed.com. They both do an awesome job of showcasing homes with great design, I've used both for ideas in designing mine.

Pixar-quality movies This is purely subjective and opinion, but it's hard to qualify something as Pixar-quality based on looks alone. Supplemental to the aesthetics and animation of a Pixar movie are the stories, characters, themes and t

I wonder if Netflix's neglect to innovate in this area is a result of concentrating all their efforts on content. Valid inquiry, imo. I think content is something Netflix rightfully should dedicate a contingent of resources to at multipl

There is not going to be a CSI team, fingerprinting, detectives, interrogations or high-speed car chases. Sure, probably not from the police. But I will put down the rest of my year's salary that Apple will be investigating like all hell

I'm not sure if that's hardly an adequate sampling pool of individuals you'd recommend for a job in call-center IT; unless you have a pool of individuals who fall into one of two categories: Extremely seasoned or extremely green. Now that's

After working call-center IT infrastructure for two years and being exposed to lots of post-high school, fresh-college entrants, in no universe would I ever say the "high school" atmosphere/community is a plus side to anyone working in IT.

I can't remember if it was here, or Reddit that someone posted about a few economists speculating that if we go through a second recession it will be the result of high unemployment, even higher underemployment, and obscene amounts of the u

The Tivo analogy makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up, I figured initially that I was misunderstanding the point of the post and your analogy fixed it.

I'm wondering if anybody has done a definitive study on the conversion value of a "click" on google versus Facebook, both in terms of brand recognition, immediate conversion (purchase), and long term conversion (delayed purchase) Probably

Imagine if in some Zynga game they had ads but rewarded users for clicking on them. Not interacting with, but simply clicking. Would you find much value in advertising there at all? You've actually brought up a very valid point; I kind of

I seem to be greatly misunderstanding the issue here, and thus I apologize in advance if this seems like a massive, and possibly dismissive oversimplification but the complaint here is that there are overeager users who are clicking on ads,

If it turns out to be the case, I'll still go to the interview but never work with that recruiter again. We've reached a point in tech now where processes are (nearly) tool agnostic; and to focus on that given the context of the resume (wh
